Oh snap.

Lol, disc swapping sucks.... Ringx55

Do you know what sucks even more? Having to wait 4-8 minutes for an install to finish (MGS4). Swapping disks: 5 seconds.

still will buy it dont carenjean777

I'll still buy it.

The reason its probably three discs is because of the cutscenes, which I hope Japanese developers never get rid of. I love the direction they take on them and its alwasy nice to look at.

Since Square-Enix is handling the cutscenes and movie directions for Star Ocean (its a joint project between Square and Tri Ace) its was bound to be multiple discs. Surprising though, it seems developers are starting to favor blu ray a little more though. Nomura haas already states that blu ray is a plus because their able to burn to it faster or something like that. As for the installs I really don't know.

All in all, both have ther ups and downs

I have nothing against switching discs, its just the prospect of losing or scratching one disc that really annoys me. nothing is more frustrating than losing a single disc and then searching for it for ever. You cant exactly justify buying the game again because it would feel like a waste, but at the same time you cant find the one disc you need. The horror! :cry:II_Seraphim_II

those two reasons are silly, first off, how do you lose a disc? you have to be pretty irresponsible to just poof! lose a disk! and two, scratching? you will only use one disc at a time anyway. one in the system the others in the case, so you would actually be using one disk on a consistent basis regardless if the game is on one or 3 discs. :P

I stand corrected, I'm sorry didn't even think about that. I'm an only child:cry: forgive me!:D

Who cares? It's not like you're going to have to get up and change the disks every few minutes. More than likely it is going to be 1/3 of the story or 1/3 os the world which is where you are going to have to change disks.BumFluff122

It still sucks that you have to take care of all 3 disks..If one disk is missing you the game will useless and you have to buy a brand new copy..I am sure they going to stack the disks on eachother just how did they did it with Lost Odessey.. Myfriend hate buying used 360 games because most of the time it have scratches and seem like 360 don't even take care of it..

Multiple discs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mandatory installs Yes Blu-Ray has only held back the PS3 so far:|FirstDiscovery

I guess it being on 3 discs makes the game less fun or something? :?

thats true but i want a good rpg for the 360xion1234

Man, the point of that post flew so far over his head that you couldn't see it with a telescope.

The only reason it's on 3 discs - the same reason for Blue Dragon, Lost Odessey and Last Remnant being on multiple discs - is that Japanese developers haven't let go of their dependance on CGI video for cut scenes. This is an outdated method that is unnecessary today when in-game graphics engines are more than capable of beautifully depicting the cinematics in story telling. Just look at WRPGs like Mass Effect, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, that are loaded with hours of gameplay, and still fit on a single DVD9.

Now I can already see the counter-argument. "Adobe, you're complaining about CGI video being outdated and unnecessary with better alternatives available. Can't the same be said of DVD9 today when there's a better alternative in BluRay?" The difference is, Blu Ray costs the gamer more in money, whereas the implementation of in-game cinematics rendering over CGI costs us nothing, and still allows games to fit on 1 disc. Plus Blu Ray being in it's early stages of technical development still carries hinderances to gaming, mainly in the form of slower drive speeds to DVD.

....wrong in so many cases I just don't know where to begin.

I was implying that according to many cows, FFVII is the best RPG ever, EVEN though it had three discs. Did the discs hamper the enjoyment of the game? No. Was it a nusiance? Only if you scratched a disc badly or lost a disk. So why is everybody whining about SO4 having three discs? Would it make a difference in enjoyment? No. Will there be less content? No. Is the game looking to be sweet with a side of awsome-sauce.

OK, so people are still actually using the counter argument; "if one of those discs gets scratched/lost, you can't play the game". So answer me this. What happens if the only disc of a game gets ruined? You can't play the game, right?

So how is 1of3 discs getting ruined any different from 1of1 disc getting ruined and unplayable? You still have to replace the game either way. And if it comes to the same effect, you can't play that angle that multiple discs has a severe disadvantage to a single disc. In both cases you equally have to take care of your property (in so far as siblings afford you to do so :P )

Okay? Three disks..... I see no problem here. What.. is the price of this game going to raise now that it's on multiple disks? :PRacer_XLR

If gamers wanted to be active we'd go outside and play some sports. Microsoft needs to get with the times and realize that we don't want to get off our butts after putting the disk in the first time. :roll:

And again, how would it be any different from having to replace a games single disc just to finish the last, oh say 18min of the game?
